‘Dumbo’ octopus Named after the Disney character because of their big ear-like fins, ‘Dumbo’ octopuses can live as deep as 4,800 metres (13,100 ft.) which is deeper than any other type of octopus. Life at these extreme depths is difficult. Animals need to be able to live in complete darkness and be able to survive in exceptionally cold conditions. Dumbo octopuses spend their time hovering a short distance above the seabed, waiting for prey. They move by slowly flapping their fins. Some diving fish will eat Dumbo octopuses, but because they are able to live at such extreme depths, they are rarely captured by deep-sea fishing nets.
